Question
A diver is 14 feet below sea level. The diver then swims up 14 feet to the surface. Which equation shows the correct sum?
*
(-14) + 14 = 0
(-14) + 14 = 28
(-14) + (-14) = 0
(-14) + (-14) = -28
*
(-14) + 14 = 0
(-14) + 14 = 28
(-14) + (-14) = 0
(-14) + (-14) = -28

The correct equation to represent the situation where the diver is initially at 14 feet below sea level and then swims up 14 feet to reach the surface is:
\[
(-14) + 14 = 0
\]
This equation shows that starting from -14 feet (below sea level) and moving up 14 feet results in 0 feet (at sea level).
\[
(-14) + 14 = 0
\]
This equation shows that starting from -14 feet (below sea level) and moving up 14 feet results in 0 feet (at sea level).
